Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 498: Can I still cultivate immortality?

The ice-blue sword talisman trembled slightly in the air. Gu Jieshuang stretched out her hand, and the sword talisman fell obediently on her palm.

Gu Jieshuang looked at the sword talisman, a starlight flashed in his eyes, and then a look of doubt flashed across his eyes.

"I seem to be unable to sense the star rank of the sword symbol?"

"... This is naturally normal." Ling E said, "As I said before, the core of this sword talisman lies in the 'weapon knot'... The sword talisman is created with the help of the equipment soul card, but it is not completely equivalent to the soul card. The only connection between it and the soul card master is the weapon knot."

"Is that so... I understand." Gu Jieshuang nodded.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that there are no star levels.

She has already reached the star level of perceiving all things. The sword talisman is said to be not the same as the soul card, but if one activates the ability, one can still perceive it... However, the star level is probably only the first level, and it doesn't look like it will change easily.

When the sword talisman is fully unlocked and is on death cooldown, Gu Jieshuang can directly disconnect the equipment card and then summon the corresponding sword talisman... This process also consumes soul energy, but the soul energy consumption is very low, similar to that of spell cards.

Gu Jieshuang estimated that she could summon two or three sword talismans in one breath without pausing.

Mental stress is also very low, almost unnoticeable.

What’s worth mentioning is that the two spell cards went directly into death cooling after being activated, but... they were still continuously occupying mental pressure, and the mental pressure occupied by the full unlocking of the sword talisman was even gradually increasing!

This means that this type of spell card cannot remain effective for a long time... This is different from a permanent spell card.

but……

"Senior Ling." Gu Jieshuang thought for a moment, "Why do I feel that... the two spell cards you gave me are very suitable for changing into continuous spells?"

According to the literal meaning, [Spiritual Roots] probably represents aptitude. Judging from the current situation... this "aptitude" actually has a time limit?

It would be great if we could just change it to permanent so that [Spiritual Roots] can always be effective.

"That's indeed a good idea." Ling E affirmed, but then said, "But, it's not that simple - I've also read Yu Cang's paper on continuous spells. As of now, it's still quite difficult to make Tianmen's soul card into a continuous spell."

After a pause, Ling E continued, "The Tianmen system emphasizes 'Skills, Methods, and Dao', which correspond to the field and disconnection zone, the death cooldown zone, the deck, and the soul card master himself. At present, it seems that the skills, physique, etc. represented by 'methods' can only play their full role during the death cooldown."

"Is that so..." Gu Jieshuang nodded, not quite understanding.

"Let's not talk about this for now. It's too early for you." Ling E waved his hand. "What do you think of this sword talisman?"

"I think..." Gu Jieshuang blinked, "It's a very strong system. For my deck...it might be able to play a supporting role."

That’s right, it’s just an auxiliary.

She is very satisfied with her current deck, and Sword Synchronization is very suitable for her fighting style.

Although she has just been promoted to level six and her card deck has not been upgraded synchronously, she can still exert considerable combat effectiveness. Once she improves the level of her perception of various sword intents and improves her card deck, her strength will be further improved.

As for this sword rune system... for her, it can be used as a soul card to fill the deck, but she will not regard it as the main force.

First, the tempo of this deck is a bit slow, and second, well... it's not strong.

In order to form combat effectiveness, he needs to first place two spell soul cards that have no benefits. This will undoubtedly greatly slow down Gu Jieshuang's combat rhythm!

This contradicts the fighting style she is good at.

If sword talismans could also be synchronized, then she might be able to change her deck to adapt it to the Tianmen system, but it was obvious that the star levels were all first-level sword talismans, so it would take a lot of effort to synchronize them.

Overall, incorporating the Sword Talisman into your deck is simply reducing your own strength.

And Ling E seemed to know what Gu Jieshuang was thinking.

He smiled softly: "Do you think, if the sword symbol is really so weak, I will use it as my deck system?"

Gu Jieshuang: “Uh…”

Could she say…she felt normal?

Although she didn't know much about card decks above level six, since she had been with Yu Cang for the past six months, she would have a feeling every time she saw other people's card decks.

This system is so backward.

When the deck is running, it doesn't earn any resources at all!

Occasionally I see one or two interesting soul cards, and after careful study I find that they are improved after combining star ranks.

Having seen this kind of situation many times, she could understand why Ling E thought that the system that defended the country was not very strong.

So, isn’t it?
Ling E thought Gu Jieshuang would shake her head to deny it, but he saw Gu Jieshuang's hesitation.

"..."

What? Is it so shameful in your eyes for a country guardian like me?
Although his previous performance was indeed embarrassing... he is also a true legend and a guardian of the country!
Even if you don’t believe in yourself, you should believe in Tianmen!
Ling E took a deep breath, opened and closed his lips for a long time, but still said nothing.

Forget it... I won’t bother with the juniors.

...Come to think of it, Gu Jieshuang has always been by Yu Cang's side, and he must have seen a lot of new and strange soul cards.

But, this is the Tianmen system, one of the strongest systems in Yan Country!

Don't underestimate the old guy!

"...If this system is really weak, I won't be here to teach you." Ling E said unhappily.

Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang laughed dryly twice, touched his head, and found that his expression management seemed to be a little inadequate.

"Senior, that's not what I meant..."

"It's okay." Ling E waved his hand. "I've said before that the Tianmen system emphasizes 'perception'. The two I gave you are just the basics of the basics. Look at the sword talisman, it's just a fragment. It can't even trigger the 'thunder tribulation', and it doesn't have any good abilities..."

Ling E felt depressed when he thought of this.

Who knew Gu Jieshuang learned so quickly.

To get started, you must get some simple soul cards.

But he couldn't say anything at this moment.

After all, he follows his own standards.

Thinking of this, he took out another soul card and handed it to Gu Jieshuang.

"This one is better than the last one - take a look first."

……

Soul Card Name: Tianmen Sword Talisman Full Solution - Small Perfection
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Epic

attribute: none

ability:

This Soul Card can take effect when (Sword) [Spiritual Root] exists.

[Wandering]: After activation, this Soul Card enters death cooldown. When the Soul Card Master obtains (Sword) [Spiritual Root], he can disconnect a Soul Card and then activate this Soul Card regardless of consumption. [Use Sword as Talisman]: (Omitted)

[Small Perfection]: This soul card exists during the death cooldown, and the mental pressure occupied continues to increase. If the mental pressure is full, the death cooldown can be ended. When the death cooldown of this soul card is about to end for the first time, you can choose to trigger [Thunder Tribulation]. After [Thunder Tribulation], the death cooldown and mental pressure will be recalculated.

……

[Thunder Tribulation]: The Soul Card Master will be attacked by nine thunderbolts in sequence. Each attack will improve the Soul Card Master's physical fitness and soul energy recovery speed after it takes effect. You can choose to return a disconnected Soul Card on the field to the deck to offset one thunderbolt.

……

Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened slightly.

Sure enough, he became stronger!
In this way, the full unlocking of the sword talisman can be automatically activated the moment the acquired sword body is activated, without the need for soul energy... This naturally speeds up the pace.

But... [Thunder Tribulation]?
She looked at the introduction of "Little Perfection" and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Are you really cultivating to become an immortal?

"The soul cards of the Tianmen system usually operate with the help of the disconnection zone... Generally speaking, only the 'physique', 'gongfa', and 'divine power' can enter the death cooling. As you can see, this system can be 'cultivated'."

The full unlocking of the sword talisman is the martial arts method. When the martial arts method enters the death cooling zone, then as long as there is [Spiritual Root], it is equivalent to starting the practice.

During the process of cultivation, mental stress continues to increase. If it is full, it is equivalent to reaching a bottleneck period where one is about to break through.

At this time, you can choose to end the death cooldown directly and "abandon your own cultivation" to practice another book, or you can choose to face the thunder tribulation and "break through the realm"!
As long as the breakthrough is successful, then naturally you will reach the next realm, the death cooldown will be recalculated, and the next round of training will begin. If you fail... Tribulation Thunder will generally not kill you, after all, it can be offset by recovering the soul card in the disconnected area.

In this way, the soul card master will have many choices. He can choose to withstand the thunder and sell blood in exchange for the panel, or he can choose to use the thunder to recover a wave of resources.

"The panel improvement brought by the tribulation thunder can always exist as long as you have [Spiritual Roots]. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to keep the physical soul card in the death cooldown during the battle."

"So this is the way to fight..." Gu Jieshuang suddenly realized.

In this case, there is no doubt that this system is one that becomes stronger as it progresses!

"So, there should be something stronger than this 'small perfection'... such as the great perfection?"

"Of course." Ling E nodded, "After all, a minor perfection can only survive one tribulation."

"I see……"

If that is the case... then it is conceivable that there must be more than one kind of tribulation that can be overcome, and the same goes for the "skills" or "physiques" that can be cultivated.

By then, you can even practice several techniques at the same time... With more techniques, the speed of practice will increase, but the tribulation you have to overcome will also be stronger!
If there was no soul card to ward off disaster, he might be struck to death by the thunder.

In this deck, the spell cards that are on death cooldown account for the bulk of the mental pressure... those sword runes and the like, the mental pressure is really low.

This system... looks very interesting.

Gu Jieshuang has become interested.

Ling E: "And the most important point is that Tianmen Soul Cards have almost no self-restraint. As long as the perception meets the conditions, it can be added to the deck without any impact, so there is no need to worry about it affecting the use of other Soul Cards... In Yan Country, it is common for Soul Card Masters above Level 6 to have a set of Tianmen Axes as long as they meet the conditions."

At this point, Ling E suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Come to think of it... the core of your deck is to use various sword intents, right?"

"Yes."

"It's really enviable that you can master so many kinds of sword intent at such a young age." Ling E said with a sigh, "Although Ling doesn't have his own sword intent, there may be an opportunity to comprehend sword intent in the Tianmen system - this is something Ning Xingyi also admits."

Gu Jieshuang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

"certainly……"

"Then I want to learn!"

There are a lot of sword intent in Gu Jieshuang's hands, but these sword intents all come from other swordsmen, not herself.

Thanks to the improvement of the star rank and card-making system, Gu Jieshuang has the opportunity to understand the sword intent of others.

The more time she spent in contact with the sword intent and the more she learned about those once peerless swordsmen, the more she desired to comprehend the sword intent herself.

But this is easier said than done.

If this Tianmen system could improve her understanding of sword intent by even one ten-thousandth, that would be enough... She was willing to learn it!

Speaking of which, to some extent, sword talismans do have some similarities with sword intent.

Hearing this, Ling E smiled.

Finally you're interested!

Fortunately, he was not completely outshined by Ning Xingyi... It would be embarrassing for him if Gu Jieshuang was unwilling to even learn his own things.

He was not making up his mind that using the Tianmen system would help one understand the meaning of the sword.

After all, this entire system attaches great importance to perception, so it is normal to be related to sword intent.

When Ling E chose the sword talisman, wasn't he also trying to comprehend the sword's meaning from it?
To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that this sword symbol is a "pseudo sword intention".

Extracting the rhythm of abilities on an equipment card and turning it into a means of attack...it is indeed something similar to sword intent.

However, even though Ling E had used sword talismans for his entire life and had come into contact with countless precious equipment cards, he still could not get started with the illusory sword intent.

The sword intent is still too difficult, so difficult that it makes people despair.

An inexplicable look flashed across Ling E's eyes. After a moment of stunned silence, his gaze fell on Gu Jieshuang.

Will this young man in front of me... become the second person in Yan Country to comprehend the sword intent?

Even though Gu Jieshuang had been using sword intent for such a long time, Ling E still found it difficult to come to a conclusion.

The sword intent is too ethereal.

There is no hope for me... If his teachings can give this junior a little more chance to comprehend the sword's meaning, then... that would be great.

Ling E smiled.

"Come on, try to see if you can add this soul card to the deck - don't worry, I have prepared a lot of soul cards for you, you can try it slowly in the next few days."

"Okay!" Gu Jieshuang's fighting spirit has been ignited, "I will try my best!"

Sword intent! Sword intent!
My own sword intent!

……

At this time, in the Tianmen Secret Realm

Yu Cang slowly stretched out his hand, with stars shining in his eyes.

"Is this my... Palace of Destiny?"
